Christmas Markets are some of the most iconic German outdoor festivals that attract millions of visitors to the country every year. They flock to Cologne (the largest), Nuremberg (the oldest), Munich (the most), Dresden, Hamburg, Berlin or any of the medium sized towns where smells, sights and sounds engage all your senses and get your body, mind and soul ready for the holidays. The German-style Christmas market tradition took a while to develop in North America on a larger scale. Today, you find sizable, months-long markets in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington DC. Each year more cities and towns in the US and Canada are hosting Christkindlmarkets, combining food, music, entertainment with markets for imported and local Christmas specialties. We collect and update every year a list of recurring Christmas markets for each US state and Canadian province. You can help us by adding more markets at the bottom of this page.
